Community Conservation Planting Day - Waverly Pola Wetland

The City of Stirling invites you to join us for a Community Planting event at Waverly Pola Reserve to help restore sections of the wetland.

This event is an opportunity to:

• Meet your neighbours and build a sense of community
• Improve biodiversity and conservation value of our natural areas
• Learn more about conservation and how you can get involved

This event will involve planting near the wetland with a variety of important plant species. The planting is done by community members with the guide of expert help from our staff and conservation volunteers.

The City requests you bring your own:

• Gardening gloves
• Water bottle
• Closed-in shoes
• Protective eye wear
• Weather appropriate clothing (long pants, either a broad brim hat/sunscreen or raincoat/pants).

On arrival to the event, volunteers and residents will be asked to register and an induction will be carried out prior to planting activities.

This is a family friendly event, however, please ensure children are supervised at all times as we will be working close to water.

Complimentary lunch will be provided after the event, along with 'thank you' tokens of appreciation of your efforts.
